I have delivered presentations in over 20 countries, including the USA, Canada, UK, Singapore, and China. I have worked together US organizations such as the National Center for Learning Disabilities and CHADD (Children and Adults with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder), as well as delivered keynote addresses internationally (example: to the Japanese Society for Developmental Psychology and the Center on Research on Individual Development and Adaptive Education of Children at Risk (IDeA) in Germany).

I can deliver presentations in person or via Skype. Topics include:

WHAT is Working Memory? Is it different from short-term memory? How can we move information from our working memory to our long-term memory?

HOW can we assess and train Working Memory? What are the tools in the educator's toolkit that can be used to diagnose and support your student's learning? I will also discuss strategies to boost Working Memory in those with Dyslexia, ADHD, Autistic Spectrum Disorder, and Motor Difficulties.

These sessions gave me real hope. I came to this conference so frustrated. I have some 5th graders who are really struggling. I didn’t understand why I would have to keep repeating and repeating myself and still they couldn’t follow the instructions. Now there is something I can do to help these students. 

I would like to thank you for your very informative and entertaining talk at the Science Festival. I find your work fascinating.

It was one of the best presentations I have ever attended. 
